Title: University of Illinois 150 by the News Gazette

URL: http://uofi150.news-gazette.com/

Description: Over the past year, Editor Jeff D’Alessio has tracked down more than 1,000 former students, faculty and staff who’ve done the University of Illinois proud. The mission: to get them to share personal stories about the places, spaces, people and programs that had the most profound impact on them. You’ll find the memories of astronauts and ambassadors, color barrier breakers and history makers, Olympians and Paralympians, those who’ve been honored with prestigious prizes — Nobels, Pulitzers, Oscars — and many more. You’ll find 100 special video messages we received from alumni across the globe. Among them: singing judges, a Red Cross worker in hurricane-stricken Puerto Rico and the CEO who became the first African-American billionaire. You’ll see some of the most famous and favorite spots on campus, as hand-drawn by Lyncoln Delporte, accompanied by more stories.
